Starting to feel like the 70's and early 90's around here

What's the difference between this years team or the 2014 team or the 07 team......

Easy, youth.

#1 I still have some bleached jeans, wore them yesterday matter of factly.
#2 Bennigans had good chow
#3 3rd generation Camaros didn't have squat on 1st generation, or early 2nd generation Camaros.
Now if youll excuse me I have to get back to listening to my Poison cassette.

And I gotta tighten up the mullet and trim the stache!

So we won't see these types of posts until then? I am sure by that time no one will remember to tell you. As we will be enjoying the season as we go week by week to getting there.

Yes there was a poster the other day that didnt think we should be allowed any joy whatsoever until we win a superbowl lol. Some need to learn to enjoy the ride.

Ive kept my mullet in good form. Just have to go scoop up another pair of Z cavariccis.

Who is not enjoying the season? Do you remember the 1992 season when we got blasted by the Eagles on MNF and the announcer (Dan Dierdorf, I think) basically said tap the brakes on the Cowboys--they may not be ready yet? Even after finishing that season 13-3--we still had to go to SF for the NFC Championship. Yes, that's right--we finished 13-3, equaling our best ever record and we still did not have a #1 seed and had to play 49ers on their ugly turf. Point is nobody could really know a dynasty was in the making until we won in SF and then put the Bills in their place. It wasn't until late in that Super Bowl that the announcer said: "The Cowboys are back on top AND THEY MIGHT STAY THERE AWHILE." yes, we are rolling right now, but we have a rookie QB and might still face teams like Minnesota, Seattle and Atlanta come playoff time. None of those teams strike fear in my heart, but having to play on their turf in the playoffs is not a guaranteed victory. I wasn't predicting destruction at the hands of the 49ers in 1992 either, but I also wasn't sure we were going to win and there was a real bad feeling when Rice caught that long TD pass in the first half. Thank god there was holding on that play.

Those NFC championship games were the superbowl back then. I was definitely nervous vs SanFran.

What I picture when Zoners talk about the 70's or the good ol days

Gimme about 10 years. 20 and I'll be a walking liver spot..

lolrotf!!!! Awesome! Cause I got plenty of honies over here with big hair and rockin' some acid wash jeans ready to bust a move!!!! If we roll to Bennigan's afterwards we might have to take my I-Roc Z28 cuz not sure we're all gonna be able to fit in that Fiero though. My Blaupunkt gonna seriously rock that mixed tape!

What's the difference between this years team or the 2014 team or the 07 team......

Much more physical on both sides than 07 team. 2007 team had weak leadership as well.

2014 team had no pass rush at all and bad safety play (Wilcox). Offensively we had more big plays in 14 but were more efficient and smashmouth this year.

I'll take this team over both teams.

I agree, i am just starting to feel like we can win any game again. It's been about 20 years plus since I felt that way. I have to admit I've never felt that way with Romo at the helm. It's not all his fault. The defense has usually been poor, lack of running game, etc. But seems all phases of the game have converged.

 

[Redball Express]

Thats why i got my members only jacket on and listening to Night Fever. Sprayed some drakkar noir too just for the heck of it.

Played me some 3 Dog Night...

Jerahmia was a bull frog..

was a good friend of mine..

Yeah..

Yes, I have had a similar feeling for a while with the OL and Zeke.
After the draft, felt like 1990/1991.
After seeing Dak and Zeke play, not sure if it is 1991 or 1992.

The salary cap is a problem though.
We have to sign a lot of players (or replacements next year) including 1 starting WR, 1-2 S, 1-2 starting CB, as well as a good DE.
Annoying parity in NFL.

The way to do that is to dump heavy contracts like Romo & Dez. If we can get a FAST mid-tier receiver in FA, and load up on defense in the draft, we could keep this team on rookie salaries for the next few years. Having young GREAT talent is key here.

After that big pep rally Jerry threw at Texas Stadium, I knew we would beat San Fran. I was at that by the way, like 10th in line.

Easy, youth.

They were young in 2007 too.

 

[CVN68_Cowboys]

They were young in 2007 too.

You really crunch the numbers on that? I don't feel like they were compared to now, but maybe the numbers don't support that. Or maybe they do. Too lazy to look that deep at it.
